Hi,
well this is actually normal, since the program in the command is "playonlinux".
It's the same for all the desktop files, so they have the same icons and class, as expected.
The dock handles wine command though, so if you set the wine command instead of using playonlinux, the dock will recognize the different launchers.
for instance, "wine /path/to/exe"
This is the most straightforward way to launch a .exe program, you don't really need to call playonlinux.

We could add support for it, however it's not very common (yet), and we
can't add exception in the code for every software :-)

Title:
  Subdock issue with .desktop shortcuts

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Wasn't sure exactly how to describe this.

  I used playonlinux to create 4 shortcuts (.desktop files) for wine to
  launch word, excel, powerpoint and onenote. It placed them on my
  desktop, and I dragged them into my launcher subdock.

  When you look in the dock though it shows 4 icons of the same type,
  and they all launch the same application. if I look in ".config/cairo-
  dock/current_theme_launchers/" they are all different files, and they
  all have different content. If I double click them on my desktop they
  open the correct application.

  I have attached a screenshot showing the icons on my desktop, in the
  subdock, and in the config directory.

  One other thing, if I rename the files and reload cairo-dock, the icon
  being show in the subdock, and the program it launches changes. It is
  always 4 of the same thing, but it might be Excel, Word, or whatever.

  This is 3.0.99.rc1, ubuntu 64 bit, gnome-session.
